Mayermoover recently designed and installed a custom cantilever racking system for a major lighting company, transforming a complex storage area into an organized, traceable, and highly efficient storage system.
The company expressed a need to streamline warehouse logistics for components with non-standard geometries, which posed a major operational challenge. Moving and storing wooden crates containing metal profiles up to 6 meters long required specially designed structures capable of providing high load capacity, maximum safety, and intensive use of the available space.
The Logistics Challenge: Oversized Loads and Space Saturation
The client company was facing a challenge typical of businesses in the sector: managing a large volume of work-in-progress and long metal profiles, stored in 6-meter wooden crates.
The primary requirements identified during the logistics audit were:
-
Vertical space utilization: Reclaim floor space by utilizing the warehouse's vertical clearance.
-
Direct access and organized storage: Eliminate improper stacking and ensure each crate can be quickly located.
-
Optimized picking flows: Make handling operations safer and more efficient using forklifts specifically designed for long loads.
The Mayermoover Design Solution
To meet the client's technical specifications, Mayermoover's engineering department developed a high-density freestanding cantilever system, integrated throughout the entire length of the warehouse.
System Technical Specifications:
-
Structural Height: 5 linear meters for maximum vertical utilization of the span.
-
Storage Capacity: Over 200 wooden crates measuring 6 meters in length, distributed across multiple adjustable load levels.
-
Arm Configuration: Designed for specific loads to prevent deflection and ensure continuous, balanced support for the wooden crates.
-
Operational Safety: Anchoring solutions and dedicated impact protection to safeguard the structure during loading and unloading operations.
The Results: Traceability, Safety, and Doubled Storage Space
The introduction of the custom cantilever system delivered immediate operational benefits:
-
Maximizing the Space Utilization Ratio: By utilizing the full 5-meter height, the warehouse quintupled its storage density on the same floor area.
-
Fast, Effective Location Tracking: Each 6-meter crate now has a precise, unique location, eliminating downtime when supplying production lines.
-
Enhanced Operational Safety: Eliminating precarious floor storage significantly improved safety standards for operators and completely eliminated the risk of damaging the metal profiles.
